Real Estate Acoustic La Blogothèque Session
Real Estate recently did an acoustic session for French music website La Blogothèque. You can watch and hear their entire performance above.
In addition to performing songs from Days and their terrific 2014 release Atlas, Real Estate also played unreleased track “White Light”. The set as a whole was executed with great raw beauty and human-ness, but I really liked “White Light” and am eager to hear a studio version.
I really do enjoy videos of live, intimate performances by indie rock bands. In this house show, Real Estate glows and gives true warmth that is unlike anything I’ve heard this summer.
So much about this recording genuinely hit my emotional heartstrings. The beautiful acoustic melodies paired with Martin Courtney’s wonderful vocals fit and sound just perfect together.
I also appreciate the visual side of the recording because it is awesome to see the band perform the songs the way they do. Plus, it gives a sense of the intimate atmosphere.
By bringing the songs we already love down to their essence, Real Estate reveal (in a gorgeous approach) that there is beauty and accessibility in simplicity.
